BOOK A Director Keating also recommended that staff be directed to prepare 4 SR -60 corridor plan which would address aesthetics and appropriate uses of signs for this entrance into the community. The corridor is developing rapidly and if there were more aesthetic requirements, it would enhance the character of the corridor. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to approve staff's recom- mendation to continue with the Wabasso corridor study, appoint a task force composed of the people listed in staff's recommendation, and prepare a SR -60 corridor plan. Under discussion, Commissioner Adams agreed that the task force offers the ability to move forward with the corridor plan. She felt that after a while we may need to go back to the larger groups for input and try to encourage that participation. The concern for the corridor is still there. Commissioner Eggert understood that the task force would hold public meetings before bringing it to the County Commission. In response to Commissioner Bird's question, Director Keating explained that the boundaries of the corridor study area are 81st Street on the south; 90th Street on the north; CR -510 on the west; and AIA on the east. It doesn't follow zoning lines exactly, just the Wabasso area generally. Commissioner Bird suggested that Jeff Bass be contacted to serve as the real estate representative on the task force, since he represents Graves Brothers which is the biggest property owner in the area along the Wabasso corridor. COMMISSIONER EGGERT AMENDED HER MOTION to add Jeff Bass to the task force. The Motion passed unanimously. 18 MAY 2 1995
